    Well, I'm known, I hope, Shiney, for my courtesy and restraint while still being factual, definitive and specific, but the present political situation regarding BREXIT tests my restraints from abandoning the most beautiful language in the world i.e: the English language and using words that will most definitely breach the GC Rules and Protocols:dunno::whistle::nonofinger::heehee::loll::lunapic 130165696578242 5:

      I agree that the dissembling and obscurantism of the verbiage of the political class is enough to make one have projectiles from the gastrointestinal tract! :whistle:

          I already have a stock pile, Shiney, of such projectiles that you describe :dunno::heehee:so that I can "present" them to an MP knocking on my door to argue why we should stay in the EU.

            Oh my, there's a lot of people's noses out of joint today! People are banging on about the death of democracy, theft of democracy... even asking to stop the coup. I get they're upset but are they upset about leaving or leaving without a deal as I cannot believe it's because they're distraught about MP's not being able to waffle about themselves for hours while achieving nothing.

            Democracy is a system of government and this is a perfectly valid part of that system so I'm not in agreement that there has been a theft or other removal of democracy.
            Similarly, a coup is also described as an instance of achieving something difficult which to my mind, might very well apply to Brexit.

                The creepiest of the turncoat MP’s (how many of them can remember which party they are members of now?) are gathering in desperation to halt brexit. Their selfish lucrative business interests re the EU are seriously under threat :)

                    'Cos, lolli it's not good for their European investments, and also Campaign Fear has frightened a lot of people because the EU is the only thing they have known and they believe the propaganda that they can't survive without it:hate-shocked:no matter what the price of staying in the EU is:dunno:

                      Personally I'd like to see that runt Bercow get his nose rubbed in the dirt that all those lousy MPs have created.
                      I thought he of all people should be neutral in all this, but has all along been bias.

                        He's, unfortunately, pete, like all the MPs and those involved in the establishment staff in non excutive/ceremonial posts in Parliament who have become isolated from the Man/Woman on the Street because in their own Parliamentary World they have come to believe they're all powerful. Bercow relishes in being able to decide what bills, topics can be discussed in Parliament, while MP's wishing to get a say in a Parliamentary session kow tow to him and he loves having the power and he doesn't want that taken away from him. He actually doesn't have many, if any, real friends in Parliament and in fact there was a movement among the MP's to cut short his time as Speaker of Parliament but that has, out of Political necessity, changed and the Remainers are now cosying up to him...........but he still is really irrelevant in the process of BREXT, deal or no deal, it's
                        just that he believes he is!!:dunno::whistle::heehee:
